Archive for the ‘HEART IT/ HATE IT’ Category

Im back with another edition of Heart it/Hate it, and right before Yom Kippur too. Maybe this is bad karma?

Removable collars and neck gear in general are huge this season… literally and figuratively.

In any case, you would think I would prefer a fur collar to an Elizabethan style collar any day… but NOPE.

The feather fur ribbon thing looks so cheap to me, and the pleated collar looks elegant and expensive. Ladylike but also cheeky. White feathers? So not me.

I dunno…. Cate Blanchet makes anything look good, but could I pull it off?

 

Maybe Im a wacko. Who knows. Funny thing is, the pleated Carven collar is $140 HERE, and the Miu Miu feather thing is $730, HERE.

 

Thoughts?

Sometimes I feel like I’m an alien that fell from the sky and that I just dont get anything thats going on around me… like I want to be the little kid that shouts- “THE EMPEROR! HE’S NAKED!” but no one is listening to me.

Anyway, Im starting a new feature here, and I’m calling it, “I heart it/I Hate it!”  A little post I’ll do every so often comparing two similar things, one I hate, one I love, fashion, decor, jewelry… The Heart it/Hate it feature is going to cover all the topics.

So lets start.

Now, the hate shoes have been a pet peeve of mine ever since EVERYONE in NYC seems to be drooling over them and wearing them to fashion shows etc etc… I think they were the most worn shoe at fashion week. So maybe I’m nuts.

If you MUST wear a banana heeled open toe bootie, and I dont say that you must, the red ones by Maison Martin Margiela are soooo much better looking than the Miu Miu ! To me. The Miu Miu remind me to much of their Prada counterpart and that reminds me of a Wicked Witch of the West prop/Miss Piggy muppet leg (See here!)

Maison Martin Margiela, HERE. Miu Miu, HERE.

So what do you think? Heart it, or hate it?
